Re: searching SMD diode for Samsung Harddisk P80 SP1614C

These items are not supplied as replacment parts but come as part of the
whole drive assembly. E-Bay for the exact same drive, model number, and
capacity. Then attempt repairing your originals. Best bet would be to
replace both drives, use the good drive card (PC Board) you have to transfer
the data you require to the new drives, and warehouse the old ones.
